＜Infinite Dendrogram＞

□ Union of Urban States Cardina and gambling city Hermaine

Cardina is a country that covers more than 90% of its national territory with deserts and dry wilderness.

Dry land has been in the desert for a long time, and dry land has become wilderness in just a few hundred years.

Less than 10% of the land remaining is living along water sources such as the oasis and rivers flowing from the untouched areas of the north, and the cities dotted in Cardina are rooted in those living lands.

The gambling city of Hermaine is one of them, and a city is formed around the oasis.

And in the corner of the city, as the name of the gambling city suggests, the casino is dense.

Some may recall the place name Las Vegas,

Its casino, but the fun varies depending on the mother of the organization it is investing in.

Because a country called Cardina comes in with merchants and organizations from various countries, the casinos created by those capitals also have many atmospheres reminiscent of nature and Dayuan.

The casino, which seems relatively elegant, was created with the capital of a kingdom merchant.

The entertaining casino was created with the capital of a Legendary merchant.

And the casino, which pushes asian taste on Earth to the forefront and is marked by decorations imitating dragons, is by the Yellow River.

The sign says… in Japanese it means "mirage".

This one is by the Yellow River organization but not a merchant... no, would it be a merchant in a way?

It was a race known as the Yellow River Mafia that ran this store.

Control violence, incite desire, collect gold… a group rooted in the society behind the Yellow River. A group of them is opening a casino here in Cardina.

Well, that's not a rare story. In other casinos, there is one Grand Barroa's four largest fleet of ships, funded by the pirate fleet and the Legendary Vampire Clan.

It is not uncommon for the capital of the society behind other countries to move in Cardina, not just in this Hermine casino.

Instead, if you try Cardina's government, it's also a "customer” and a “source of funding”. Cardina doesn't care where or who runs what stores if she takes a percentage of her earnings as a tax. Rather, the more outlawed shops are in other countries, the more thankful they are because of the increased percentage of taxes.

Regardless, some of those back organizations say, "I don't pay taxes or anything."

Still no problem.

Those guys... because they can't bring the money they earn back to their country, and they just wander and die in the desert between cities.

Do you die lost without getting a guide, or do you step into a dangerous monster habitat with a fake map, or are you annihilated by someone who specializes in backwork?

Some of those who refused to pay taxes tried to hire non-approved guides to make their way through the desert. But the conductor is actually the last man sent by Cardina... there are some examples of him being thrown into the worm's nest of pure dragon classes.

In any case, the tax payer loses his life and money, and the money that falls is picked up by Cardina. That's how it works.

If you don't want to do that, pay your taxes and get the lead of an approved informant, Cardina's government implicitly says.

I forgive everything if I have money.

If you don't have money, you lose everything.

That's what Cardina is all about.

◇

Let's get back to the Yellow River Mafia casino called Mirage.

The shop is uniquely decorated with the Yellow River as well as the exterior and interior. It's a Chinese thing to say on Earth.

However, the gambling played in the store is often Western in one way or another.

Roulette, poker, baccarat, etc. make up the majority of familiar items.

In the store, a supplier dressed in costumes claiming yellow river-style footwear - close to a chinese dress - holds a basin in his hand and distributes liquor to guests who play. Do you have an appearance interview to serve? All mixed with a handful of beautiful women, or boys who look beautiful.

Some customers enjoy the appearance of such service with their eyes. In the space set for food and beverage in the store, many people drink alcohol with the money they earned that day, taking into account the way others wager and serve walking.

There was a strange style figure in the corner of such a food and beverage space.

The person has received some attention due to his odd style.

Or I guess that's not odd. But at least I'm not on the spot.

The person wore clothes that could not be military or pilot suits. It can't be Cardina's or the Yellow River's.

It is then the person's face that catches the surrounding eye. He was a very righteous looking man... but now for some reason that face was a sad one. The woman who sees him on the side of it, young or old, is distracting.

However, if the observant sees what he does, he will realize that femininity is hidden in every single thing he does while being a man.

And if there's another thing that catches my eye, the presence of a white girl quietly puffing almond tofu next to him.

Overall, they - Hugo Receps, a former member of the Triangle of Wisdom, and Cuco, its Embrio, were completely floating off the air in this store.

◇ ◇ ◇

□ [High-Level Pilot] Hugo Receps

"... Phew"

I sigh, I think.

"How is this happening," he said.

He was traveling towards heaven and earth on the other side of the drife in order to spread his vision. So it's not weird to be in Cardina on the way.

I wondered why you had to be in the casino.

I wondered why I had to wait here.

"... I'm a minor"

In real life, “I," a girl just turned fifteen (...), is about to fill her heart with this underground airy casino.

I'm going to cry when I get distracted.

but I manage to “me" it... I try not to cry while deluding myself with the sad face of Hugo Receps. If I cry in a place like this, I get extra attention.

"Yu-Go, Watarumi. And if you don't like it, it'll crush you."

Shut up. Cucumber should be eating almond tofu.

"Yes, sir. Oh, speaking of which, if you don't, why don't you stop pretending?

Cuco says that while pointing to my clothes… a pilot suit made of wisdom.

... you won't have a choice. I only wore a few of these pilot suits.

It wasn't until I got into the desert that I realized, and then... something I didn't have time to buy.

The money was almost taken for repair parts.

The terminal price at Cardina for genuine parts was higher than the advance information...

I can't get a pilot suit that performs well with the money in hand and still doesn't stand out here.

"... I wish I hadn't."

Shut up. Cucumber should be covered in almond tofu.

"I'm not a nemesis, I'm full of it"

…………

I remembered a nostalgic face when I heard the name of Nemesis.

Ray, it's a hostile form at the end, but what have you been up to since then? I wonder what's going on with the severed right arm in the fight against me or the left arm that I lost when I defeated my sister.

... I'd like to see you again sometime to talk.

I'm not apologizing or anything, though.

"That's right. It's only when you squirm like this that you should be able to tell with a shiny character, like when you were not Ray."

"... no, it's kind of getting harder these days to maintain that behavior"

I guess one of the causes is that I've broken my pan with my sister, but I don't think I behave as excessively as I used to behave as Hugo Receps.

"Oh, now that you're here, you're back at Chi Chi."

"No. I am not a medium two disease"

"Huh? Bikay, kizzy, feminist, if I did it, I'd say" hoo, "or I'd say" hoo, "even though I'm a character?

"Hugo Receps is not the product of medium two diseases"

"'Lady. We wipe your tears. I promise you that I will welcome you tomorrow morning with a smile'"

"Will you not recite the words I used to say until you stop reading the bar!?"

You didn't say anything weird about that!?

That's a good word! I'm the one who said it!

"Oh, no more... I didn't think you'd root for me now..."

When I complain about Cuco that way,

"Kee, missed?

That's what Cuco said and responded with a smile.

"... Huh? Ah..."

When I was told, I realized it was getting a lot easier that I was about to be squashed by the air here until just now.

... Apparently, this poisonous tongue and bar-reading my < Embrio > told such a story to distract me.

"Cuco, there is..."

"That and later." What about here in Hugo? I'll take that as a report.

"... Cuco, it's really ruined a lot"

Well, although I took a lot of damage to my heart... I was distracted by Cuco.

Feeling a little better, I keep waiting for someone again.

Speaking of which, I wonder what's going on now.

I look at a certain corner of the casino from the dining and drinking space in the casino.

At the end of the line of sight is the space on the roulette table.

There are numbers ranging from "0" to "36" that are no different from real life, red and black, and European style ones color-coded with "0" greens.

Yes, it's as if it were real.

"Speaking of which..."

My sister had the view that "these kinds of plays were tamed (...) by the operation beforehand".

◇

My sister supported the theory that "we created an extremely advanced computer virtual space from scratch, and we simulated and built an ecosystem of virtual life there".

I wondered if it would take hundreds of years on Earth to build such a civilization if we made it from scratch. But my sister said it was possible from various points of view, starting with "that system in time of war."

In addition,

"If you're setting up all of this elaborate world to be" kasabe "... you can't afford it that way."

He also said. I remember being convinced "indeed" when they said that.

Let's get the story back to play.

Roulette, cardboard games, and other well-known on-board games that we don't have in the casino… something similar to what we have in real life already exists in < Infinite Dendrogram >.

Additionally, there are many familiar dishes, such as cooking.

Cuco still eats almond tofu, but in this way almond tofu exists as almond tofu.

My sister thought both were due to the thought of one of the operations.

In other words, "not causing breakthroughs of Earth origin to be tamed beforehand".

In short, something that doesn't make you make a lot of money bringing in existing plays and dishes that exist in real life here, or let you take the lead in cultural change.

If this < Infinite Dendrogram > was a world view remote from entertainment and gastronomy, my sister says there should have been few "founders" trying to bring them in and make them popular in real life.

If the “Successful" comes out of it, the “Founders” are created by real imitation one after the other in an attempt to follow it.

"I guess the operation feared this < Infinite Dendrogram > bone would slip away as a result."

I said, "Isn't < Infinite Dendrogram > free? I said," but my sister laughed and gave it back like this.

"You'd be free. As an accompaniment to the main axis of cultivating"

According to my sister, the operation wants < master > to raise < embrio >.

My sister laughed,

"If that's not even the thought, hey, this game is too broken. Ha ha, we don't need this level of stuff if we're just going for profit."

I said.

And my sister began to make certain reasoning.

"If there is a purpose other than profit, it is in a“ different part "of this game. And the operation is making him do it... it's this one that diverges the most from the rest of the game. I stepped on this < Infinite Dendrogram > to make it grow a thousand different < Embrio > depending on. Huh? That this real world is the biggest difference? Right? I don't think so. I have a basis, but I'm not going to tell you now because it's going to be a little long. Hey. Well, the operation made this game to make me grow < Embrio >, which I think is pretty much definite. More importantly... maybe it's the one who wants < Super Embrio >, including my pandemonium. Or beyond...... well, I don't care now there. What do the entertainment stories have to do with what's going on? There is. When everyone and he all start looking for creation and success by imitating reality...... it's just a commercial game. That's not how Embrio grew up, is it? Therefore, the entertainment culture was rooted in advance so that the actions of < Master > did not come to an end. I kept breakthroughs from happening because of cheap start-ups and successes."

My sister's story was based on her own predictions.

But perhaps my sister had other reasons for that decision.

Now, my sister said that's how cheaply < master > keeps me from getting a breakthrough.

But my thoughts weren't "I see".

"That breakthrough... your sister did, didn't she?,.

The product of a real fantasy, a human robotic weapon, was made possible in….

Nor did the operation envisage a breakthrough of "building human robots with a technological system within < Infinite Dendrogram >".

Turns out, my sister was the “founder” and the “successful”, that's the story.

◇

Now, look around this casino roulette, remembering that story with your sister.

Around the roulette table, there seems to be a feeling of anticipation… or fear spreading.

"Well, then let me put it in"

The dealer turning the roulette said that in a nervous voice.

But that doesn't look right.

I'm not a dealer. Something's wrong with the table betting Roulette's appearance.

Only one coin has been bet.

That's also the cheapest hundred lil worth of coins in this casino. Only one is bet on double the red bet.

That's all they're betting on when they say there are a lot of people around the table.

But still, Roulette has to start, more than anything he has wagered.

Shortly after the ball was thrown in that way by the dealer's hand,

"- 10 million lil on" 21 ""

Additional bets were made.

Ten of the most expensive coins are placed on top of "21" with the declaration.

"Me too, me too!

"Me too!

That additional bet is followed by one additional bet on "21" after another by the guests who were around.

As the dealer blues, the roulette stops spinning, the ball......,

"…" 21, "

Stopped at "21" where additional bets were made.

The perimeter of the table is wrapped in ecstasy.

The first, and the most expensive betting person, is paid a coin worth 360 million lire, which is thirty-six times the bet.

In real life, it's close to 30 million euros. Twelve [Marshall II] planes with options can be bought for the price of the Triangle.

"... I guess it's too much"

Whether you heard me whining like that or not, the person who received the coin sets the table there.

The atmosphere seemed obvious from the other guests around us that some unfortunate "can't you ride anymore?"

"Ah."

and there the person realizes something and speaks out.

He then points to the corner of the table and speaks to the grumpy dealer.

"Two hundred lil is not enough."

That was the cheapest coin, placed from the beginning in a double-betting place.

That got cut off, the beaten dealer gave him the coin crying.

◇

The person who got huge amounts of money and broke the dealer's heart.

In a nutshell, that person would be "red and white".

She is a woman and her head has some red hair with a silver mesh in it.

The lower body of the garment is hot pants and the upper body is woven with a flight jacket over a bikini-like inner to expose the stylish body at all costs.

And the most distinctive thing is its eyes.

Different colors on the left and right.

The left eye is red and the right eye is silver.

But if you look carefully in the right eye, you can tell that the back of the iris is like an elaborate kaleidoscope - a prosthetic eye.

I... know it's her Embrio.

She takes to the food and drink space in a relaxed foothold.

To a table that does...... I said this about a table with me and Cuco.

"You're making a lot of money, Yu."

"It's too much, master"

She is my pushing master.

I am also a former member of the Triangle of Wisdom... my sister's best friend.

And one of Cardina's Nine Super, also known as the Ethereal Princess.
